DIPII'ER.

To all whom, 't may concem:

Be it known that I, HENRY B. BRYAN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Pittsburgh, in the county of'Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have n- Vented certain new and useful linprovernents n Dippers, of which the following s a speci-. ficaton, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawing.

his invention relates-to dippers and the prinary object of my invention isto provide a dipper that can be advantageously -used or skinmingorremoving one fluid' froni the surface of another, as cream upon milk. Another object of this invention is to furnish a dipper With a movabl'e bottom that serves functionally as a receptacle for collecting one fluid froni another in which the dipper is placed. e

further object ot' the invention is to provide a dipper that can be imnersed in two kinds of normally separated fiuids without unneeessarily distu'bing or causing the fluids tocomningle, the dipper being designed to remove the uppernost fluid.

l'Vith the above and other objeets in View the invention resides in a novel Construction to be hereinafter speeifieally described and then claimed.

Reference will now be had to the drawing, Wherein:`

Figure l is a perspective view of the dipper, and Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view ot' a portion of the same shmving the manner of using the dipper in connection with a milk bottle or other reeeptaele, i

The dipper eomprises a qvlindrieal shell 1 having the lower end therem reamed or bent inwardly to form an annular llange or seat 2 for a eup-shaped botton or reeeptaele 3, which is looselv supported by the reduecd end of the shell l. 'I`he reeeptaele 3 has the bottom thereo't' weighted or enlarged, as at 4. Arranged transversely of the shell 1, ad jaeent to the upper edges thereof, is a bar or rod 5, said bar or rod having the ends thereof fixed in -the walls of the shell 1. A suitable handle or bail 6 has the lower end thereof riveted or otherwise connected, as at 7 to the outer side of the shell '1 and the up- Specification of Letters Patent.

per end of the handle or bail is bent to form a loop or finger grip 8.

As an example of the use of there is shown a milk bottle 9 containing milk 10 and cream 11. To remove the eream or a portion thereo" without disturbing the milk 10, thedipper is lowered into the bottle and as the lower end of the receptacle 3 impinges the Cream, itremains upon the creani While the shell 1 passes into the crea n.

s the ereain can enter the bottom of the shell 1, it 'Will not be unnecessarily disturbed, and as the bar or rod 5 inpinges the upper edges of the reeeptaele 3, the rcceptaele is lowered 'in the erean until the crean over-fiows the upper edges of the re- The dipper can then be' graduallywithd-rawn and the contents ot the reeeptacle 3 removed from the dipper. i

the dipper; i

From the foregoing it will be observed v that the reeeptacle 3 cannot become displaced relatively to the dipper and that as the upper fluid flows over the edges of the reeeptacle, a very small quantity ot' the fluid can be obtained it desired. This an essential feature of the invention as the dipper Can be used by ehmsts and phar''aeists in removing` solids from various solutions without disturbing the body of the solution. The dipper ean also be used by gagers at distlleries for testing and removing quantities ot liqnor from barrels, and it is in this connection that the bar or red 5 can be positioned or adjusted 'whereby the dipper can be used tor various purposes.

It is pre't'e'able to 'make the dipper in its entirety ot' light and dul-able aluminum or nn-en'rosive metal, it being obvious thatthe dipper can be made of different sizes and shapes.

'hat I claim is I v 1. A dipper of the type described comprising a evlindrieal shell having'a reduced end a cup-shaped receptacle movably mounthaving a 1 weighted receptcle adapted to seat in the reduced lower enpf said shell, a handle imam&

ower reduced end, a cup-shaped m the presence of two Wtnesses.
